I have been taking photographs since the 1970s and my main interest has always been people in their environment. I like to show the environment of the people I photograph so that the viewer can understand the context of the photograph without titles or explanations.

These two images were taken at the Borris Fair in 2012 using a Nikon D5 camera and a 24-120 F4 Nikon lens. It was raining heavily for most of the day therefore the photographs were taken when the subjects were sheltering inside trailers. The camera was handheld using available light only and the ISO was set at 5000.
